Too Dumb For New York Lyrics - Waylon Jennings

Verse 1: 

D 

When i first saw New York city 

I was green down to the core 

You could see my red neck glowing 

For a mile or maybe more 

A 

Between the hustlers and the hookers 

I must have made their day 

Cause they peeled me like an apple,Lawd 

D 

And sent me on my way 

Bridge 1: 

When you're pushed and shoved and almost mugged 

It ain't no place to be

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

So i came to one conclusion 

A 

New York ain't for me 

Chorus: 

D 

From sea to shining sea 

And coast to coast 

Somewhere in the middle 

Is the land i love the most 

A 

I ain't California pretty 

I can't survive the Great White Way 

I'm too dumb for New York city 

D 

And too ugly for L.A. 

Verse 2: 

I made my way to Tinseltown 

Photos 

To Hollywood and Vine 

Out among those pretty faces 

I'd surely find a place for mine 

A 

The way i walk-the way i talk 

They'll hang on every word 

But don't call me,i'll call you 

D 

Was all i ever heard 

Bridge 2: 

In L.A. what they're thinking 

Ain't what they talk about 

At least in New York city 

A 

There's never any doubt 

Chorus. 

A 

I'm too dumb for New York city 

D 

And too ugly for L.A.
